   Plush velvet seating and industrial copper lighting also add a touch of glamour to this relaxing and inviting space.

   

   Funky Artwork

   Funky unique artwork and talking point wallpaper make this a venue people are clamouring to visit.

   

   Marble Bar Top with A Twist

   The bar areas includes show stopping poseur tables complete with champagne buckets. Metallic marble ‘Gold Stratos’ from Versital has been chosen for both the tables tops the bar top to add to the feeling of opulence. Offering a modern twist on a traditional marble, this finish is the perfect backdrop for the vibrant colours and copper touches throughout the venue.

   

   Waterproof and Stain Proof Surfaces

   As well as looking beautiful, the marble finish is immensely practical, being 100% waterproof and stain proof.

   

   The same is true for the table tops used throughout the venue. The vibrant chairs in fabric from designer Beth at Bobo are the perfect addition.

   

   SteriTouch® Antimicrobial Surfaces

   As well as being waterproof and stain proof, all Versital surfaces offer the added benefit of SteriTouch® Antimicrobial additives. SteriTouch® additives are effective against a broad range of bacteria, including those responsible for illness, infection, odours, staining and material degradation.

   Beautiful Bathrooms

   The new look doesn’t stop in the restaurant and bar area. The glamorous new look extends through to the new bathrooms, with a combination of marble finish vanity tops and striking wallpaper.

   Bathrooms are regularly one of the most photographed areas, especially with beautiful Instagram worthy décor and lighting. The perfect place to share a selfie!

   Sometimes the gents toilets get a little bit neglected – not so in this scheme. Opting for a darker theme with a rich green marble from Versital in Verde combined with a striking jungle themed wallpaper from Charlotte Jade.

   

   The ladies toilet is a complete contrast to the gents, opting for a lighter more feminine colour theme. A beautifully traditional style marble ‘Royal pavilion’ is used for the vanity tops and brought to life by another vibrant and quirky wallpaper design from Charlotte Jade.

   

   “It is always a pleasure to be involved with projects of this calibre. It is so exciting as a manufacturer to see designers bring together lots of different products and finishes and bring them to life. Our surfaces look lovely on their own, but in the right setting and combined with striking wallpapers, accessories and colourways they look fantastic”.

   Made to Order Bar Tops

   Versital’s made-to-order surfaces were commissioned for the bar tops and kitchen pass tops in a luxurious white marble finish. The handcrafted surfaces bring a fresh and modern feel to the space, effortlessly complementing the contemporary colour palette of teal, mushroom and off white.
